A man will guess where his morals come from. What is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad. Some may say these are acquired, but then why would every civilization to ever come about have similar morales? “For example, some people wrote to me saying, ‘Isn’t what you call the Moral Law simply our herd instinct and hasn’t it been developed just like all our other instincts?’ (Lewis 19) The book Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis goes into great depth into what morals are. The book covers many topics that apply to all sojourners traveling through life. Mere Christianity really opens your eyes and helps you compare the analogies to your own life. In reading the book one can muse about the meaning of life which is bigger than the…
Parents, family members and friends influence our thoughts and beliefs for better. As we develop our values and ethics it is through past experiences whether it is positive or negative experiences that help mold us as adults. I developed ethics and values when I was young. I was taught to know right from wrong at a young age. I was punished if I lied or did something wrong and both parents has high standards and morals that they wanted me to abide by. They taught me that cheating, stealing and lying would not be tolerated. I would be held responsible if I did any of these unethical behaviors. They taught me to be truthful, humble, and treat others how you wanted to be…

The only way I can really express my reason for such values is through a personal story. With that being said, I was only six years old when I had to experience true hurt and heartache, something most children should never have to bear. My big sister was molested at just 10 years old, and from that point forward my families love and patience was truly tested. Through countless tears, counseling and court trials the only thing that got my family and I through such heartache was the support and love of each other, and that was not an easy task. As much as we loved each other, even our counselor said that we are special. Most families that experience this are torn apart forever. However, my parents were the glue to our family through it all. Together, they remained positive and were tenacious. They were truly Mother Bear and Papa Bear to the max, relentless in the courts until my sister could sleep peacefully at night.…
All in all, my beliefs are my beliefs. My dad exposed me to many things that others aren't exposed to. That's one of the main reasons I am the way that I am today. I believe that if you train up a child the way he or she should go, they will not depart from it. As I grow older, I still follow the same patterns and ways that my dad taught me when I was younger. It made me become a very outspoken and independent individual.…

As a human being, there are several ways to interpret the act of altruism. The lineal denotation of altruism means the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others. However, everyone has different point of view as they faced altruism and they tempted to call themselves as true of altruism without knowing the true standard. This idea is especially apparent when looking between the two nonfiction articles in Altruistic Behavior by Desmond Morris and Christmas at home by P.W. Alexander. Both pieces are base off the idea of altruism and how it can be presented differently in one’s life. Desmond Morris, a honored anthropologist his work most well known to the general public by his remarkable product The Naked Ape, which is a book about the metaphoric thinking between apes and humans. He uses his own anthropological point of view and terminology to represent his knowledge of true altruism, and he also grotesquely indicate human’s selfishness through a mankind behavior. In the other hand, P.W. Alexander, a writer and a teacher who oftentimes dedicated to community services, her article Christmas at Home, she talks about her own personal heartwarming life story and how her family tradition on holidays of acts of altruism have impacted her life and career. Each piece was based off of act of altruism but the intense logics between the two authors are slightly different than one another.…

Religions and cultural beliefs it has proven most difficult to answer that question. We live in a society where there are several laws rules and regulations that we must live by, which give us a partial idea of what a satisfactory moral theory would be like. In our textbook "the elements of moral philosophy by James Rachel's we find ourselves faced with that same question…
Growing up, kids have many different types of rules to abide by. Parents teach their kids what they think is right, and what their children should believe. Often, kids grow up following the same beliefs their parents have raised them with. However, when that person reaches a certain point in their life, they must ask themselves if they really believe what they have been told. Angela Giboney stated that, “They recognize they should be living out their values, because that’s what faith is—living what you believe.” (“Shared values build understanding”). It is important for people to understand and live out what they believe, not just follow their parents beliefs.…
